All the incredible folks at Macmillan and Henry Holt. I don't know what's in the water there, but their energy and enthusiasm never lag. I am indebted to such a professional team.
Ana Deboo, who has been my wonderful copyeditor for several of my books now, and all I can say is thank you so much and I'm so sorry.
Rosemary Stimola, my agent and friend, who always goes above and beyond, and is truly superhuman in all that she does--from first reader to brilliant adviser to hand-holder. I am certain there is Bio Gel beneath her skin.
Kate Farrell, my editor, who is everything a writer could hope for--first reader, last reader, and everything in between--and is so supportive of the creative process at every step, this book truly could not have been written without her. And as a bonus, she's a fun co-conspirator. I hit the editor jackpot.
My children, Karen, Ben, Jessica, and Dan, who are my first-draft cheerleaders and my inspiration and joy. They keep me going and the words flowing.
As always, my everything to my husband, Dennis. His love and support are unfailing. And he makes me laugh.
Mary E. Pearson is the author of many novels for teens, including The Adoration of Jenna Fox; The Miles Between; and A Room on Lorelei Street. She writes full-time from her home in Carlsbad, California, where she lives with her husband and two dogs.

The Adoration of Jenna Fox.
Available in hardcover, paperback, and eBook formats.
Seventeen-year-old Jenna Fox has just awoken from a year-long coma--so she's been told--and she is still recovering from the terrible accident that caused it. Her parents show her home movies of her life, her memories, but she has no recollection. Is she really the same girl she sees on the screen? Little by little, Jenna begins to remember. Along with the memories come questions--questions no one wants to answer for her. What really happened after the accident?
